Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 544 Blocked at the Door

After chatting with Tang Yue for a while, Wang Teng got up and left the castle. For him, seclusion for cultivation was a regular occurrence.

However, as soon as he took his first step, he sensed a fleeting, subtle imperial aura coming from the direction of Seoul.

This forced him to halt his journey to the Void Altar in Australia, and following that aura, he quickly pinpointed its exact location!

With a teleportation, Wang Teng arrived in the air above the Seoul naval battlefield in the blink of an eye, gazing at the sea thirty kilometers away.

The sea surface seemed calm and there was nothing strange about it, but the aura that he had locked onto was there.

"Interesting~ Is it the Dragon King Ant Queen?"

Wang Teng narrowed his eyes and quickly saw through the other party's concealment. At this moment, the other party was sneaking around outside the island group.

After locking onto the opponent's aura, Wang Teng did not immediately take action to deal with it, but instead planned to see what this guy was up to.

He quickly scanned the surrounding sea and soon discovered something unusual.

The islands in the open sea, which had long been occupied by sea monsters, had become completely barren at some point.

The sirens that originally resided here have long since disappeared, and the surrounding seawater is unusually calm.

Looking at the coastline, the colorful seawater is mixed with the blood of various sea monsters. The smell of this blood is constantly stimulating the nerves of the sea monsters outside, attracting them to come.

"The people below were probably also fooled by the Dragon King Ant Queen's disguise. There are so many Dragon King Ants gathered around here, yet no one noticed anything amiss."

"Logically, these things should be in the Qinhuangdao area, so how did they end up here?"

"Could they find something they need here?"

"Or are they just here to cause trouble?"

Wang Teng deliberately circled around the Dragon King Ant Mother but found no other ambushes. Only this guy was lurking on the surface of the sea as if nothing was wrong.

That's incredibly arrogant!

Wang Teng quickly realized that he had been concealing his aura. As long as he didn't want anyone to know that he was hiding, he would basically not be detected by beings of the same level with this skill maxed out.

The Dragon King Ant Queen, a mere newly ascended emperor-level sea monster, was far inferior to him in strength, and his deliberate concealment went against the norms of demons.

Demon emperors generally have their own exclusive territories, which other emperors can almost always spot when they pass by.

It is highly likely that the Dragon King Ant Queen was unaware of the existence of such an emperor in this place, which is why she dared to wander around his doorstep and even intended to use it as a hunting ground.

"There's no use thinking about it so much. Just kill it and search its soul to find out what it came for."

Wang Teng decisively arrived above its head, instantly enveloping it with his dimensional domain, and pulled it directly into another dimensional space battlefield!

A dimensional battlefield spanning tens of kilometers appeared in the sky above the entire island group, and a terrifying imperial aura exploded!

This sent chills down the spines of countless sorcerers living in Seoul's base city, and a fear stemming from their very survival instincts began to grow rapidly!

At one point, he even forgot how to breathe, his face pale and limp on the ground or in a garbage dump.

As for the mages on the naval battlefield, they could see the dimensional battlefield above the sea, where the two opposing figures were both at the Emperor level!

This legendary confrontation of forces has never been recorded in documentaries, so the fact that they were able to witness it filled them with both fear and excitement.

"Human Emperor~ What do you want to do???" The Dragon King Ant Queen transmitted her thoughts in a panic. She never expected that she would be suddenly pulled into an unfamiliar place when she was just lying there peacefully.

It could clearly sense that there wasn't a single extra drop of water here, and the entire space was incredibly solid. It poked at it a few times and found that it didn't budge.

Now we've met a formidable opponent!

Its past cautious habits made it inherently less aggressive when facing such a formidable enemy!

"What are you doing? You've been sneaking around and lying in wait at my doorstep, and you're asking me what I'm doing?"

Wang Teng swiftly conjured a dimensional sword in his hand and slashed out as he spoke!

The dimensional slicing technique appeared on the Dragon King Ant Queen's body in an instant, and its proud defense was powerless against this attack!

The Dragon King Ant Queen instinctively tried to dodge, but her body was still cut in half. Dimensional power remained in the wound, making it impossible for her to glue it back together!

"Human Emperor! Don't go too far!" The Dragon King Ant Mother was furious, and felt the sudden drop in power, knowing that she was seriously injured.

But the bodies, so close yet so far, couldn't be pieced together, making it as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

At the same time, it did not forget to launch a counterattack. An invisible giant hand covering several kilometers instantly condensed, but when it struck down, it seemed as if an immense power had frozen the invisible hand, making it unable to move at all!

"Human Emperor—what have you done to me?"

"You...you stay away!"

The Dragon King Ant Queen was frantically running around, but the hard dimensional barrier made her despair and frantically bombard the dimensional barrier with her large pincers.

Unfortunately, even the sparks from the large pliers couldn't penetrate this seemingly thin wall.

The sea, separated by a wall, seemed so incredibly far away at this moment!

If only it hadn't come here! If it could have escaped into the sea, it swore to the sea god that it would never come back here again!

"Tch~ You're the one who wanted to come, and you're the one who told me not to come. Who do you think you are?"

Wang Teng, seeing the Dragon King Ant Mother trying to escape in a panic, slashed with his sword once more!

The Dragon King Ant Queen's body split open again, this time truly striking a fatal spot, even its head was cut in half. Its tenacious will to live made it unwilling to end its life.

But then an invisible force pulling at its soul enveloped its consciousness, giving it a sharp tug!

The Emperor-level Dragon King Ant Queen Beast Soul was instantly pulled out, and a terrifying devouring power enveloped it!

While absorbing the essence of the beast soul, Wang Teng also searched the soul to find out why the other party had come here.

He quickly found the answer: this guy sensed the imperial power on this land!

"So they were drawn here by the Crimson Cup. I knew it; emperors don't usually wander around without a specific reason."

He immediately obtained the information he wanted: the Crimson Cup was constantly producing blood serum, so it must continuously carry the fluctuations of the Emperor's power.

The fluctuation wasn't strong, which is why the Dragon King Ant Queen came to take a look; this guy wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

Unfortunately, it hadn't figured out the situation yet, and its intelligence wasn't particularly sharp. Enveloped by its dimensional power, it couldn't clearly perceive what it was.

So it planned a large-scale cleansing operation, sending countless Dragon King Ants onto land to act as cannon fodder and draw fire, then it would act depending on the situation.

The methods used in this plan are exactly the same as those used in the attack on the human mage powerhouses in the Demon City base, without the slightest modification!

In just a short while, Wang Teng devoured the soul essence of a being of the same life level, which caused his soul to experience a long-awaited surge!

With a casual flick of his wrist, a nearly transparent crystal floated in his palm. This was the crystallization of the imperial power remaining in the soul of the Dragon King Ant Queen.

This is the imperial power of the water element. For an invincible water element monarch, it is an imperial starting point, and there is even a slight chance to take that crucial step.

"This can remove the Dragon King Ant Queen's mark and let the Black Serpent have a taste!"

Wang Teng smiled as he began to process the crystal in his hand. It was a delicate process; if he went too far, he would destroy the crystal, and if he went too lightly, the residual soul imprint would not be completely removed, affecting the absorption effect.
